LEGENDARY architect Eero Saarinen's Bell Labs headquarters in Holmdel, New Jersey - which sat empty for almost a decade after the phone company's successors abandoned it - is showing signs of new life as a 21st century technology hub with the signing of three leases.
The tenants have agreed to take a total of about 40,000 square feet inside the secluded glass box surrounded by woods and suburban homes, about 72 km south of Manhattan. The largest and latest of the leases is with Acacia Communications Inc, a designer of cloud-based communications services, which will have about 26,000 sq ft at the property, now called Bell Works. The other two tenants are Nvidia Corp, which is developing software for self-driving cars, and McCann Systems LLC, which advises businesses on their use of audiovisual technology.
